Apparently she plays Mac games.

It's sending a sacrificial pawn so the tyrant doesn't think of their absence.

Yeah, but to them he's the "anti-government".

It flies in the face of rationality, of course, but so does most conservative ideology.

These days "conservatives" despise anything that has a hint of government smell on it. Not because of anything meaningful or anything, of course, just that "government bad".

So you agree with my entire point, but don't want to admit as such?

That was literally my entire point. That corporations effectively have carte blanche to do what they want, then the tools they use are the ones to take the blame.

Video games are an escape, which can be a problem in and of itself even without exploitative tactics meant to squeeze them of profit... but again, that is a societal problem. The danger of escapism is not so great without something to escape from.

This is blaming the tool for the actions of the person using them.

This is not a video game problem, this is a societal motivation problem. The motivation of corporations is to make money, so they employ whatever means they can to achieve that.

In this case it's targeting kids playing video games.

The tool is not the problem, the wielder is. Saying otherwise is extremely disingenuous.

Ah yes, the games are the problem, not the system in which they are created.

It's the video games that are the problem. Clearly.

Maybe it looks goofy because you're looking at a picture you took of your monitor instead of taking a screenshot like a rational adult.

So... three monkeys?

Well, as that was a restaurant not managed by Disney, but through an independent pub owner in their public market area... I kind of doubt it.

They've always been on the menu

Ironically I looked at shit far more when I (finally) got a flying mount in each expansion than I ever did while stuck on the ground.
